Subject: “About Mistakes” 

Received by Oscar. 

Thought Adjuster: “Many problems and complications in the lives of mortals are caused by their own decisions and by their refusing to forgive the mistakes of the past — others’ mistakes and their own. Forgiving is a valuable experience. To forgive those who you think have caused you harm and when you observe the results of these decisions in your life. 

“Many things in your life and your siblings’ lives will fare much better just by accepting the fact of your own fallibility and potential for error. Your goal is to attain perfection, but until you reach that state the possibilities of making mistakes will always be present. Therefore, why do you expect perfection in your relationships with your brothers and sisters? Perfection is the highest and principal aspiration of human life, but in this world it is more of a desire rather than an accomplishment. 

“You make mistakes. Accept this reality and make an effort to help each other overcome the errors and learn from them. All of you have within you the Guide who will point out the degree of truth, beauty and goodness of your actions, thoughts and decisions. Search within your heart and mind for the basis of your decisions and once you have chosen a path, use sincere self-evaluation to appraise those outcomes. 

“At every moment you can know with a relative degree of certainty where you stand in your spiritual career. Do not let the mistakes of the past become heavy loads, preventing you from moving forward in your journey of self-discovery. Instead, use these experiences to learn the lessons and values that will propel you towards the attainment of your perfection. 

“Your life is in your hands. Your present results from your past decisions. Those who choose to follow the will of the Father and aspire to be the best they can be are effectively putting their lives into the hands of God to achieve the miracles our Father hopes to achieve in the life of each human being. Follow the plan your Father has suggested and you will find that His is the alternative that is best, highest and most satisfactory for your personality and for the universe.”

Heavenletter #5296 Peace Sparkles Its Silver Light, May 26, 2015 

God said: 

Some days you are happy to simply survive. You don’t even ask for happiness any more. You would be happy for the day to be over without huge anguish, broken heart and irreparable damage. You don’t ask to get off unscathed any more. You may be grateful to settle for life without happiness and perhaps a little less misery. You are even grateful for a day without catastrophe!

You don’t recall when this state of affairs entered. You do remember in the not too distant past when life cheered you up, and you looked forward to each day, and you had much elation. When joy started to make its exit, you do not know. Yet life turned into energy lost and hope denied, and you hung on for your next breath.

You felt suspended from life, almost as if you were hung from a meat hook. You were, We could say inaudible. Unhappiness had outlasted itself.

Joyous energy is coming back to declare itself.

You will become light of heart and light of foot again. Life is arriving for you now like a Cinderella carriage ready to carry you around Earth from an elevated height. You will be jumping from joy again. Your zest is returning. Life is reclaimed.

It seems as though there has been a torrent of tears shed or unshed, yet gallons of fear will no longer be spilled upon Earth. You will discover fun-loving resources within you again, and smiles will take over the Earth. You who have felt lost will be found again, and laughter will be heard once more across the land and deep in your heart.

It felt to you like happiness was on a sabbatical and did not play upon Earth as it used to, as though happiness had been biding its time. By the time this Heavenletter opens its eyes to the world, happiness will have been restored. The grass that has grown brown has been watered once again - no longer with tears but with the vast waters of love.

All that ever can be missing is evidence of love, yet love is a constant. Love shouts from the rafters while you are not listening to love but rather to shadows and doubts. Long live love. Recognize the fullness of love inside and outside your heart.

There has been a revival of love staring you in the face. Heaven has reclaimed Earth, and your heart is saved, and love pours upon the ground and is savored as a day well-done and a world that provides for your every perceived need.

Yet need is an illusion. Abundance is true. You are true, and your heart is true.

This is your day of reckoning. Today is what you have been waiting for, and today is here. It is straight before you. It no longer dangles before you. You are reunited with the present time. All burdens are lifted. Truth is dawning once again. Truth has arrived, and you can no longer overlook it.

Love is declared. Love sweeps across the Universe. My Will is done. Trees blossom once again, and vines bear grapes. Joy flowers across the fields and bunnies hop and there are breezes and revitalization across the Earth. You are fleet of foot and firm of foot, and the Sun shines in all its blazing glory, and once again you know Life on Earth as the blessing it truly is. Furthermore, you feel the goldenness of your spirit, and it is plain to see that peace reigns on Earth. Peace sparkles its silver light and all there is is light and light and light forevermore.

Lord is Your Sole Refuge 
The name of the Lord is your sole refuge. It is your prop, shelter and abode. Name is divine nectar. Name and form are inseparable.
Keep a picture of the Lord and concentrate on it. Concentrate on the face or feet or the whole picture. Then visualise this in your heart or in the space between the eyebrows.
Repeat your mantra - Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namo Narayanaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya - mentally, or if the mind wanders, do this verbally.
There are five kinds of bhavas or attitudes. They are shanta bhava (relationship of peace), dasya bhava (relationship of servant master), vatsalya bhava (relationship of father son), sakhya bhava (relationship of friendship) and madhurya bhava (relationship of lover and beloved). Have any kind of bhava that suits your temperament. Develop it again and again.
Practise the nine modes of devotion - shravana (hearing the lilas or stories of the Lord), kirtana (singing the Lord's name), smarana (remembering the Lord), padasevana (service of the Lord's feet), archana (offering of flowers), vandana (prostration), dasyam (servant bhava), sakhya (His friendship), and atmanivedana (self-surrender).
Feel that you are an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Feel that the Lord works through your body, mind and senses. Offer all your actions to the Lord. Offer the fruits of your actions to the Lord. This is the way to do self-surrender.
Do anusthana (intense whole time practice) frequently. Live on milk and fruits for a week. 
Observe mauna (or silence). Do japa (repetition of God's name) and meditate in an intense manner.
Do mental worship - it is a great help for increasing devotion and attaining concentration. Offer flowers, incense etc., mentally, to the Lord.
- - -
God is all pervading.
God is all permeating.
God is interpenetrating. 
God is indwelling.

A Slow, Difficult and Surprising First Quarter Moon


Monday's First Quarter Moon provides startling revelations and inconsistencies, and surprising enlightenment, in the context of a sowing down of all forward-moving activity that will last at least through the final week of the month. This is a powerful lunation that also comes along in the middle of a rather intense retrograde of Mercury that was very nearly coincident with the recent late Taurus New Moon from eight days ago. This lunar phase signals a time when plans that seemed conceptually easy must come to terms with real-world limitations in their working out, a factor that is augmented by The Sun and Moonin opposition and square with Saturn in the early degrees of Sagittarius, making a T-square. This signifies an intense slowing down of forward momentum that is yet productive of lasting lessons, based on the natural accompaniment to the Mercury Retrograde period: introspective self-reflection.

As astrologer Caroline Casey is fond of pointing out, water passing through an irrigation ditch sinks into the ground more effectively the more it slows down; a fact of nature truly worth meditating upon. The effect of
Saturn, and also Mercury Retrograde, is to force a pause, whereby we can have the chance to take a closer look at what it is that we are really up to.

Along with 
Saturn, Uranus and Pluto are also separately triggered in the timing of this quarter Moon, becauseJupiter closely aspects transformative Pluto while close aspects are being made to Uranus from Mercury,Venus and the Moon, implying that while dwelling almost too completely in the here-and-now symbolized bySaturn we are also experimenting, socially and mentally, with an unlimited sense of possibility — or as Jeffery Wolf Green referred to Uranus, "freedom from the known."

We are being enjoined at this time to make a stab at a practical life that is nevertheless lived with full-on connection to the Mystery of existence, of which the evidence is all around us. 
Uranus tunes us in to the architecture of the universe, as available in an immediate way once we open the internal intuitive gates of perception in order to receive it.

The Sabian Symbols for this 
First Quarter Moon have, as usual, something to contribute. They are, for theSun, in the 5th degree of Gemini, "A radical magazine," bringing in the feeling tone of a rebellious urge to transcend the current strictures of society. Marc Edmund Jones relates this symbol to "a necessary element of change in human affairs, and the extent to which ... the entirely potential will have its full and functioning part in any immediate reality with which an individual may be seeking to come to terms." For the Moon we find "A man dreaming of fairies,"" which is fairly self-explanatory once we recognize that dreams carry important and very real information. Jones has: "the ability to use the coin of [one's] inner and eternal experience with a practical wisdom and insight." Indeed, while we must dwell in these three dimensions and work within our natural senses and the requirements of our physical bodies, it is only by breaking out of the narrow limitations of outmoded thought forms and allowing our minds to roam wild that we will truly be able to advance the state of our consciousness and that of the world around us.
